Scientists drove ATVs for miles and then hiked miles more through dense forest to reach a site untouched by looting on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. They named it Minanbé, meaning “there is no path.”

Lagrangian velocity statistics of homogeneous isotropic turbulence in dilute polymer solutions

arXiv:2606.31283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We conduct direct numerical simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence in dilute polymer solutions to investigate the Lagrangian velocity statistics. We show how polymers modulate the power spectral density of the Lagrangian velocity and the Lagrangian integral timescale by varying the Reynolds number, forcing method, and polymer relaxation time. As the polymer relaxation time increases, the attenuation of the power spectral density...

Scaling Storm-Resolving Atmospheric AI Simulation to the Entire Planet

arXiv:2606.31248v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kilometer-scale convection shapes precipitation extremes, tropical organization, and cloud feedbacks, but most global atmospheric models approximate these processes at 25-100 km resolution. Global storm-resolving physics models resolve convective systems explicitly, but at a cost -- roughly one MWh per simulated day on exascale supercomputers -- that limits long-duration simulation. We introduce STRATA (Storm-resolving Tile-based autoRegressive...

Effect of externally applied resonant magnetic perturbations on resistive tearing modes

Announce Type: new Abstract: Static resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) generated by saddle coil current have been applied in J-TEXT tokamak experiments in order to study their effects on tearing mode instabilities. With increasing the RMP amplitude in time during the discharge, the mode stabilization is first observed, but a large locked mode follows if the RMP amplitude is increased to a too large value, indicating that the RMP amplitude is important in determining the plasma response...
